Are you the charter member of The Nit Picking Old Ford Guys Named Steve In California Club, or am I? LOL. I thought the same thing when I saw the master cylinder. If that is the only misstep, it can be easily fixed with resin or 3D.

I have this kit in the stash and just got the '72 Plymouth Riverside winner. I may decide to build them side by side since they are pretty much the same other than the decals. I also have the '74 Charger that I saw in person winning at Talladega and am currently building the Lindberg '64 Belvedere. I am not a Petty "Superfan" but these late '60s and early to mid '70s NASCAR cars bring me back to memories of watching ABC's Wide World of Sports when they occasionally televised racing. These Salvino's kits have warts and I count on you guys to point them out before I crack one open.

Might be a dumb answer, but since you are doing a custom interior, I would just eyeball it and use the width that looks right for the effect you are trying to achieve. I "corrected" the rear seat in a Revell '68 Mustang and I used 1/2 round that matched the front seats. You don't have to do that, and custom interiors usually are pleated further apart than stock interiors.

I seem to remember that the LHS had them marked down to $3 and they still were a hard sell when the "U.S.A. Oldies" series was still current.

LOL. John, we have seen your photo and I do not believe that a mullet is possible. Great play on words however, thanks for the chuckle.

It learns. It returned a major fail when asked the name of my semi-famous cousin's dog a few weeks ago, but it is correct now, and knows the names of his other two "less famous" dogs as well.

I am not an AMC engine expert, but I have read that all of the JoHan AMC V8s were actually the early engine series that includes the 327, not the later series engine that they should have been. Someone back me up or call me an uninformed liar please 🙂

I would never advocate stealing other peoples' intellectual property, but I have captured images from sites that sell said type of 1:1 decals and downsized them to 1/25. Printed on decal paper, and you are done. I feel that as long as I am printing one for my use and not selling them, it's not a big deal.

I was wondering when someone was going to point this out 🙂

If they are, they are old. Dodge last built a 5.7 AWD Charger in 2020.

"Private" parts used to be just that, today there are photos of them all over the internet.

The kit wheels are for the AWD 3.6L version, but the kit is a RWD 5.7L. Your cruisers are probably AWD. Here in California, it appears that we have both because I see both styles on the road.

Apologize to her for the current state of the world and ask her generation to make it better, please. Congratulations!

You also have to have a backstory in your mind around where the vehicle was operated. Native California cars of the 1960s usually didn't have much weathering on the chassis after 60-80k miles other than light tan road splash. Definitely oil stains around cork valve cover gaskets, intake manifold end seals, transmission pan gaskets, and rear main seals especially of the multi-piece variety. Maybe even pinion seal seepage. If the leaks were bad enough, there was blow back. Power steering leaks on Fords with the control valve / ram system were common and resulted in caked on black gunk. I was able to return my 1:1 '68 mustang floors to almost new condition after 13 years and 60k miles with shop rags and Fantastik.

"Command" is only one letter off from "Commando", which is either a classic Jeep, or how I prefer to dress in warm weather.

I can't believe that I am giving you advice on how to kill my relatives, but..... They (she) got in my shed and started chewing stuff. There were two shredded paper cups that baffled me. They matched the Smart & Final ones we use, but I have no idea where they came from. She made a mockery of the old snap trap, managing to remove a piece of chicken that I had sewn to the trigger with stainless steel wire and did not trip the trap. I got one of these from Homer D. Poe and caught her with peanut butter within 1/2 hour of setting the trap. Takes a bit of work to lap the peanut butter out of the cup and about the weight of a cockroach to trigger the trap. So far, she has been the only one and I don't see any more evidence. I live in a riparian area with lots of owls, hawks, vultures, coyotes, and a fairly recent multigenerational group of bald eagles, so I won't use the poison method and I think glue traps are inhumane for any creature. We have all gluetrapped ourselves building models, I can't fathom what it would be like to accidentally glue myself to the workbench.

Could be on sealed concrete and the floors would still be trash. Once the rear window starts leaking on an A-Body, the floors and trunk are doomed.
